The Great Gatsby

The Great Gatsby, sat out

Could you please tell me the meaning of "sat out" in the following excerpt from the first chapter of The Great Gatsby?

Already it was deep summer on roadhouse roofs and in front of wayside garages where new red gas-pumps sat out in pools of light

Thank you;
